Winter Roads in Norway.

In riding along the roads you see at fixed

These are placed there to show who is bound

repair end tc keep it open in the winter, and
for what distance his obligation extenGs.
This duty, co far es keeping the roads in re-
pair is concerned, is fulfilled most admir-
ably. From the snow p.ows which you sec

The Last Years Ice Palace.

The structure of the st. Paul ice palace
last winter was Of rectangular cruciform
ground plan, 180x154 feet, with principal
tower 100 feet high, surrounded by other

The principal entrance was under Gothic
arch of ten feet span and twenty-five feet
high. The blocks of which the palace was
constructed were twenty-five inches by forty
four inches by twenty inches, the latter being
the thickness of the ice. They were marked

some trimming with axes was required.

Brufa, Murder of an lnforIner by Georgia
MoOnshiners.
ATLANTA, Nov. 3.-Info,mation reached
the revenue agents office yesterday that
William A. Morgan, of HARRISON county, WAS
beaten to death with sticks by party of
moonshiners on the night of Oct 80. This
is the terrible sequel of a long story of CRIME
in HARRISON. which began last January. On
the 10th of January, Revenue Agent W. I.
Colquitt and posse captured and broke up
large Illicit distillery in the northwest
part OF HARRISON county. There they captured
seven men.
On the 18th of last month Revenue Agent
Colqui-t and Deputy Marshals johnson and
whisky. AS tthey walked around in front Of
it, the m0onshiners fired eight or ten shots
at them, and finally got away.
A few days after, on the night of the 25th
of October, the game party of revenue Off
GERS captured Ma.pin's distillery, in the
northwest part of Haralso1i county, about
three miles from the place where the big
dlstillery was captured last. January. John
Malpin was captured and his brother, Alex
ander. escaped.
:, On Sunday night party of men went to
the house of VIM. A. Morgan. who was sus-
pected OF having given the information or
which the distillery was found, and beat him
to death, in the presence Of his wife, with
heavy sticks. When she begged for his life
they knocked her on the head with one Of
the Clubs.
Tho brutes probably left her insensible,
thinking they had closed her mouth forever,
but she recovered, and it is from her that
the details of the crime went out. The facts
were briefly told in an unsigned letter sent
to Revenue Agent Chapman.

Spies Signs a Petition for Communication
CHICAGO, Nov. 3.-August Spies, Samuel
Fielden and Nicholas Schwab signed petit
ton this afternoon, humbly begging the
Governor to commute their sentences.
These three OF the seven condemned men are
the only ones who have not written letters to
the Governor that they would not accept
combinations Of their sentences, End that
all efforts in that.direction were without their
sanction. The signatures OF Fielden and
Schwab were secured this morning by Capt.
Black and L. D. Oliver, who visited the pris-
oners at the Jail and had private conferences
with them. All sorts of entreaties we're adopt
ed to get Spies to sign the petition, but he
resolutely refused to do SO, rs did also Lingg,
Engel, Fischer and Parsons.
At $3.50 p. m. the same petitions were
brought to the Jail by DR.. Schmidt, Alderman
Frank stauber and II. Linnemeyer, with
permission from the sheriff to confer with
the condemned men. Geo. Schilling arrived
later and joined the party. 1t was plain that
Spies had weakened since the morning. He
read the petition over several times. After
an hours pleading Spies said: "Well, give
me pen. and, with flourish, h 8 name
was appended below. The visitors then
turned their attention to the other four men
who have written letters declining executive
clemency. George Sciilling talked long and
earnestly with Parsons, but seemed to make
nc. impression upon him. Lingg absolutely
refused to consider the topic He and Engel
talked, together and frequently smiled.
Fischer seemed to be in doubt az to what
he should do. Frank Stauber paid him spe-
cial attention and occasionally patted him on
the back III a encouraging way. but he did
not relent from the position which he had
previously taken. It is understood that
there were three petitions submitted, each
differently. worded. One was signed by
Spies, Fielden and Schwah. but none Of
them suited the other four men. The party
promised to call again tomorrow and renew
their application. 1--WE have won more than
half our battle in getting the signature OF
Spies. said Frank Stauber on leaving the
jail and we hope to be successful with the
rest tomorrow.
George Francis Train sent seven packages
OF fruit to the condemned men to-day with a
hye-dollar note attached to each.
